Women's Issues Therapists in Lancaster, CA

One's deepest desire is to be truly accepted and understood. Yet, many times we find ourselves afraid of being judged or ridiculed for sharing our true thoughts, feelings, and challenges. In our busy lives it is a rarity to find someone who is not only equipped but also has the desire to truly listen to our deepest thoughts. It is my belief that if given the needed support and proper surroundings, we will find that we hold the answers within ourselves to overcome the challenges we are facing.

As a licensed marriage and family therapist who has more than 20 years experience, I strive to help my clients face their struggles, develop a strong sense of self and create healthy relationships in their families and marriages. I teach my patients how to heal and become happy individuals because their pain is no longer running their lives due to their cognitive behavioral therapy. I can teach you to overcome depression and anxiety, struggles in marriage, family conflicts, grief and loss, divorce, eating disorders, PTSD, being a victim of abuse and any other struggles you may have.

Life is inherently challenging & we all find ourselves struggling at times. Emotional pain is part of our experience as human beings, it does not define us. In my practice I start by meeting a client where he or she is. I can help clients identify what emotions, habits, and beliefs are getting in the way of reaching personal goals, assist with developing skills, increase motivation and identify strengths to lead a more satisfying life. I enjoy working with clients to discover what needs to change and the best path to get there. I welcome whatever you bring and offer an open compassionate space to explore, heal and grow.

To be added to my wait list, please call my Practice Manager at (661) 450-3939. Welcome to my practice! It takes bravery and courage to admit when we need support, so I commend you for taking such an important first step. Attending therapy is healthy and I cannot tell you how often I hear people say in a first session, “I’ve wanted to talk to someone for so long, but I kept thinking I could deal with it myself” or “I promise I’m not crazy!” Please know that therapy is designed to help everyone and even very high-functioning individuals attend.

Law enforcement officers, first responders, correctional officers, and veterans have unique jobs, they experience things civilians couldn't imagine, they have mental health needs that aren't "the usual" everyday need. Helpers are exposed to secondary trauma, experience depression, anxiety, and substance abuse. If they ask for help they are considered weak. This is why it is important to maintain confidentiality and continue to work towards goals of decreasing these symptoms and increasing a healthier way of processing what they have been exposed to. Working with an experienced therapist the client feels they can trust is important.

Hello! Life can throw you a curve ball now and then. I have been working in the counseling field for over 17 years as a counselor first and in recent years, a therapist.
